Overview

About the programme

Students seeking admission into the graduate art history program must meet with the coordinator of that area. For the MA degree in art history, students must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate-level credit ( including 6 hours of thesis credit). Other requirements include: maximum of five years to complete, thesis, reading knowledge of French or

German, and comprehensive exam in field of specialization. The major professor overseees all degree work. Information on the “non-thesis” option may be obtained from the art history area coordinator.

Over the course of their enrolment in the Fine Arts program (usually 4 semesters) from Louisiana State University, graduate students will take a total of 8 courses (24 credits) plus ARTH 8000 twice (6 thesis-hour credits) for a total of 30-credit hours. All courses must be at the graduate level (4000-level and above) and at least 3 courses (9 credits) at the 7000 level. Graduate research seminars (7441 and 7442) are offered frequently and, occasionally, ARTH 7400 (Art Theory and Criticism). Students may also take one semester of ARTH 7490 (Independent Study in Art History). Consider every paper you write in graduate school the initial draft for a potential MA thesis. The more developed the draft, the further along your thesis will be.
